 tricata C. Koch is however certainly the same species as Ar. Guyonii 

 Guer., and the specific name Guyonii ought then, as the older, to be 

 preferred. — As regards the difference between T. Guyonii and the 

 right T. domestiea, vid. sup., loc. cit.

That Walckenaer's Drassus atropos 1830 is identical with C. 

 saxatilis, or C. terrestris (C. et) L. Koch, of which last I have received 

 examples from L. Koch himself and have collected numerous fe- 

 male specimens at Pyrmont and Kissingen, appears to me hardly 

 to admit of a doubt. In the passage cited above from the Faune 

 Fran?., Walckenaer in fact says, that in D. atropos and other 

 "Speophiles" the pairs of legs decrease in length in the following 

 order: 4, 1, 2, 3; when contrary to this statement it is said in 

 Ins. Apt., that, next to the 4:th, the 3:rd pair is the longest, and 

 that the l:st is the shortest, this is evidently nothing else than a slip 

 of the pen, and it is clear that no stress can be laid on Walckenaer's 

 assertion (Ins. Apt., IV, p. 441), that C. terrestris and saxatilis can- 

 not be the same as D. atropos, because in the former the relative 

 lengths of the legs are 4, 1, 2, 3. — Mr Simon, to whom I have
